Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Madhya 6.28
চল, সবে যাই সার্বভৌমের ভবন ।
প্রভু দেখি’ পাছে করিব ঈশ্বর দর্শন ॥’ ২৮ ॥
cala, sabe yāi sārvabhaumera bhavana
prabhu dekhi’ pāche kariba īśvara darśana’

Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The proposal was for everyone to go first to the house of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya.
Their immediate purpose was to see Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
They planned to come later to see Lord Jagannātha; that visit was postponed, not abandoned.
Doubt transformed to devotion. Intellectual resistance gives way to a profound change of heart.
